Q&A – I moved my flowers and now they are wilted. What should I do?
Question:
I moved my flowers and now they are wilted. What should I do?
Answer:
These plants were too large to successfully move. Retired MSU Extension Horticulture Specialist Lelia Kelly says they are wilting because too many of their roots were damaged while moving. She recommends cutting the plants back and making sure the ground stays watered.
